The indoor and outdoor dining is fabulous and it’s so close. Walk out your door take a right on the path beside the vineyard and walk up until your thighs are slightly burning and you’re moderately out of breath. (If you’re out of shape like me) hahahahaha 😆

Frind winery is the one build by the “plenty of fish” guy. Annie’s place cafe has some of the best pastries in town. There is an outdoor restaurant that has great pizza in the summer months. And it’s a short walk through the vineyard and down the path wi day path to Green Bay. It’s one of our favourite Sunday walks. Wear your suits. It’s lake side and you may just want to go for a dip.
